There's some really, really nasty stuff out there. Really nasty stuff. Not just people having sex, but some brutal stuff that a medic friend of mine says gave him significant nightmares for some days.

It's not just about nudity and sex. If it were I'd be less ambivalent. As it is I feel that you're being a bit naive.



> It's not just about nudity and sex.

Agreed. Even the "just sex" vanilla porn is pretty unhealthy for children to see. That way leads to a skewed and unrealistic expectations and understanding of relationships, sex, and bodies.


Media in general gives you skewed and unrealistic expectations about all facets of life. What is special about porn?


It's more so. Anyway that's an argument for restricting other media until the kid is ready, not letting them see porn.


Either naive, or an idealist sans children.


Re-read his post, he said he's a "recent parent".
